Please never pass the chicken.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was never queasy or anything like that. I always said that if I got "morning sickness" I'd be happy because it would be a symptom!!! Well, I guess what I have is more of an afternoon sickness! And it really does make me happy! haha. I spend much of the afternoon with a little yucky feeling and I am VERY hard to please when it comes to dinner. :)

On Valentine's Day we were eating fajitas, and I could almost swear that I saw the piece of chicken like as a realchicken, wings, feathers, and all. No more chicken for me, please. I was SO grossed out. ;) However, today at Chickfila, I discovered that if the chicken is fried, and delightfully camouflaged in a crispy covering, I am okay with it. Like it is wearing a costume...and maybe not really chicken. But straight chicken? No thanks. :)

When we were trying to get pregnant, I was a vegetable eating maniac! But now, I have to really force myself to eat my veggies. I have gotten so picky!!! V8 Juice here I come.....!

So funny! Someone told me Preggy Pops (I think that's the name) worked well. Glad to see you're enjoying morning sickness! What a great attitude! A few months ago my mom gave me a powdered drink mix called Ruby Reds (www.rubyreds.com). Don't know where she got it locally, but its a Superfoods, antioxidants drink with all kinds of fruits and other very healthy immune boosting foods in it. It's not the best tasting stuff around, but I mix mine with a little sprite and take all my pills with it. Gotta drink it that way!

Welcome to my blog! This is the story of our Baby Sam. After 2 miscarriages and being diagnosed with MTHFR, we were overjoyed and excited to meet our baby boy on September 29th. He was diagnosed with at least 1 heart defect that should have required surgery after he was born. There were hundreds and hundreds of people praying for our sweet baby. On the day he was born, he had an echocardiogram of his heart -- and guess what? He's perfectly healthy!!! We will be forever grateful to God for our miracle baby.
